Calm and natural
Green is easy on the eye and connects the kitchen to a garden or view.

Green kitchens,from sage to forest.
Green is one of the easiest colours to live with. It feels calm, sits well with timber and stone, and works from a soft sage to a deep forest.

Why green works so well in a kitchen
Green is a natural neutral. It borrows from the garden, calms a busy room and looks at home with oak, stone, brass and white. A pale sage keeps a room light, while a deep green gives it real presence.
Greens change a lot with the light. A grey-green can look quiet in the morning and richer in the evening. We suggest holding samples against your own walls and floor, in your own light, before deciding.

Good to know
Things worth checking before you decide.
Greens shift with light
The same green looks different in morning sun and evening light, so we recommend viewing samples at home.
Start with the base
If you are unsure, green on the base cabinets with lighter walls or wall units is a gentle first step.
Choose the finish
Matt finishes tend to feel softer and richer; we can show you finishes side by side.
Questions
Green kitchens: common questions.
Something not covered here? Ask the studio and we will help.
What green suits a kitchen?
A soft sage suits a light room, olive or grey-green feels grounded, and a deep forest green gives a room real presence. The right one depends on your light, floor and worktop, so we suggest holding samples in your own room.
Does a green kitchen suit a small room?
Yes, especially a lighter sage with pale walls. A very dark green works in a small room too if the lighting is good.
What worktop goes with green cabinets?
Pale or white-veined stone gives a fresh look, a darker stone is dramatic, and timber adds warmth. We can lay samples side by side.
Will green go out of fashion?
Green is a very natural colour, and it pairs easily with timber and stone, so many people find it ages well. If you prefer a quieter look, a grey-green is a flexible choice.
